I'm trying to configure external editors as per [[m:Help:External editors]] and have
downloaded the ee extension from
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/extensions/ee/ and I'm reading the
install instructions at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/extensions/ee/INSTALL?rev=1…
I'm running a Windows XP machine. When I go to my MediaWiki 1.5.0 site on our intranet
and enable the external editor via my preferences, when I click an article's edit
button (using Firefox 1.0.7), I am asked what I want to do with the downloaded file
index.php.
I do not want to set up an automatic mime time for php files - that would be dangerous.
How do I configure Firefox to present the application/x-external-editor mime type. There
is a caveat in the install:
Caveat: Versions of Firefox I've tested are very buggy when indicating the
MIME type. It may be displayed as "PHP script" instead of
application/x-external-editor -- it will still be correctly associated,
though.
but I'm not convinced :-)
